US President Donald Trump is revoking the security clearance of former Obama administration CIA director John Brennan, a vocal critic of the president, the White House said Wednesday.

“Mr. Brennan has recently leveraged his status as a former high-ranking official with access to highly sensitive information to make a series of unfounded and outrageous allegations, wild outbursts on the internet and television about this administration,” press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said.

While revoking the security clearance of a former CIA director sounds like an exaggerated move, Trump never was concerned about how things sound to others.

Trump’s focus is on getting the job done. And, as Huckabee Sanders noted, it was Brennan who was doing something unprecedented by exploiting his position to hamstring a duly-elected sitting president.

As such, Trump did the only reasonable thing he could – cut Brennan’s legs out from under him so that the job of governing this nation can move forward.
